Sitting here, just thinking
Of how I've spent my days
Would I do it again?
What is it I would change?

When I stop, I wonder
What things I would change
Would anything be gained?
What difference would it make?

Every moment has a lot to givve
Every moment is a time to live
Yes, it is a time to live

I'm not proud, not sorry
For anything I've done
My life has just begun
That's why I must go on

Every moment has a lot to givve
Every moment is a time to live
Yes, it is a time to live

Sitting here, just thinking
Of how I've spent my days
Would I do it again?
What is it I would change?
What difference would it make?

Every Moment

Going Nowhere Fast

Vs 1
Honey Girl 
I’m at loose ends
I’ve lost 
a few more friends
‘Cause I cannot 
let go 
Of the past

Once they said 
My Red guitar
Should take me
Really far
Now 
I am Going 
nowhere 
fast

 Instrumental

Bridge
I’m Going
Nowhere Fast
If anyone
Should ask
I’m like a snowball
On the Downward Path
Don’t you pity me
I’m twenty one and free
And it seems
I am going
Nowhere fast

Instrumental 

Bridge

Don’t you pity me
I’m twenty one and free
And it seems
I am going
Nowhere fast

Going Nowhere Fast

When the Sun Awakens Life

[Verse 1]
The rooster crows from the old oak limb,
A golden light pours over the brim.
Mist rises slow, off the creek bed's edge,
A whisper of life in the morning's pledge.

[Chorus]
The sun awakens life, it stirs the land,
From the hills to the holler, it takes our hand.
It kisses the fields, it calls the birds to sing,
The sun awakens life, it touches everything.

[Verse 2]
Dew drops glisten on blades of green,
A doe steps softly where shadows lean.
The barn door creaks, and the cattle low,
The rhythm of life begins to flow.

[Chorus]
The sun awakens life, it stirs the land,
From the hills to the holler, it takes our hand.
It kisses the fields, it calls the birds to sing,
The sun awakens life, it touches everything.

[Bridge]
In every breath, in every sigh,
The light of dawn paints the sky.
We rise with it, hearts full of grace,
Another day's gift, another embrace.

[Chorus]
The sun awakens life, it stirs the land,
From the hills to the holler, it takes our hand.
It kisses the fields, it calls the birds to sing,
The sun awakens life, it touches everything.
